About Base

Base is building the foundation of American power. The grid is the largest, most complex machine in the world. Yet it’s aging, struggling to keep up with today’s demand, and is unprepared for our electrified future.

Base is modernizing the grid as the first engineering-led, technology-driven power company. We’re deploying a nationwide network of distributed batteries that strengthens critical infrastructure and saves Americans money.

Our team of engineers, operators, creatives, technicians, and electricians design and deploy systems at speed. If you want to tackle the problem that will define this century and shape the future of American energy, now is the time. Join us.

About The Role

We are looking for someone to support the build-out of our core financial operations across capital markets, investor relations, and financial planning & analysis. The finance team at Base is very lean, and this role will be tasked with (1) developing core models and analytical tools that drive strategic decisions at the company, and (2) supporting debt, tax credit, and equity transactions.

Base’s finance needs are growing rapidly given the business model is both capital intensive and driven by project unit economics, making this a unique opportunity for intellectually stimulating work and creative financial structures.

What You’ll Do

- Lead quarterly financial planning processes including a detailed 3-statement corporate model.

- Develop and maintain systems and processes to analyze financial and operational performance across the company, including project-level unit economics and thoughtful cohort analyses.

- Partner with other business functions to develop budgets and analyze the financial impact of key decisions or new opportunities.

- Support fundraising efforts with scenario modeling that assess the impact of new capital structures, including as Base scales and deepens its reliance on project finance and asset-backed lending / securitization.

- Maintain Base’s brand in capital markets while interfacing with external parties.

- Support ongoing reporting on financial and operational performance to Base’s leadership team, Base’s board of directors, and Base’s broader investor base.

What You'll Bring

- 2+ years of experience in investing, investment banking, and/or a finance role at an operating company.

- Comfort engaging with engineering-led systems (e.g., SQL databases) to extract financial and operational performance; strong plus for data science experience (e.g., Python).

- Experience in manufacturing, energy, power, renewables, infrastructure.

- Experience with modeling capital intensive businesses or project finance/tax equity structures.

- Effective verbal and written communication skills.
